Can you put the "peel and seal" tape directly on the engine block? I want to somehow make a blanket directly on the engine block but need something that can resist the heat (probably 180 degrees or so)... I think this is the MOST effective way of keeping heat in, by directly going to the engine block instead of the hood

Warning - Do not use Peel & Seal in the engine bay! It gets so soft, it falls off. Mine was on the underside of the hood. It actually dripped some of the asphalt backing onto the exhaust pipes - major smoking going on.
